i recently started a new blog: act the way you want to feel. act the way was born not only of the story shared on the site, but also of how continually inspired and amazed i am by all of the creative, positive endeavors of my friends and acquaintances.

the idea is that each and every day you can empower yourself to feel the way you want to feel — to lead the life you want to live — by acting with intention on one little (or not so little) thing. so what’s it going to be today?

“The Buddhist path is not about being a good Buddhist or knowing Buddhist doctrine. It’s about learning how to live my life, and learning about who I am, not as a Buddhist, but as a human being.”

— Mark Unno (in an Ohigan seminar at the San Fernando Valley Hongwanji Buddhist Temple, March 16, 2013, “Boundless Compassion and the Miracle of Life and Death”)

i feel exactly the same way about yoga.
